Study Notes
Motivational Quote
- Don't stop when you're tired.
- Stop when you're done.
Pharyngeal Arches
- Pharyngeal arches are six cylindrical elevations.
- These elevations develop from the mesoderm of the lateral wall of the pharynx.
- Each arch has outer ectodermal covering, inner endodermal lining, and a mesodermal core.
Pharyngeal Clefts
- Four pairs of ectodermal grooves called pharyngeal clefts.
- Appear on the external surface of the lateral wall of the pharynx.
- The first cleft forms the external auditory meatus.
Pharyngeal Pouches
- Five pairs of endodermal grooves.
- Appear on the internal surface of the lateral wall of the pharynx.
- The level of the ectodermal clefts corresponds to that of the endodermal pouches.
Derivatives of Pharyngeal Arches
- Mesoderm: structures within the arch.
- Pouches: form glands (thyroid, parathyroid) and the lining of the auditory tube and parts of the throat.
- Clefts: form parts of the ear and throat.
Congenital Anomalies
- Branchial cyst: failure of obliteration of the cervical sinus.
- Branchial sinus: rupture of the cyst on the surface.
- Branchial fistula: cyst opens into the skin and the lumen of the pharynx.
Pharyngeal Pouch Summary
- First pouch: forms the Eustachian tube, middle ear cavity, mastoid antrum, and inner layer of the eardrum.
- Second pouch: forms the palatine tonsils.
- Third pouch: forms the thymus gland and inferior parathyroid glands.
- Fourth pouch: forms the superior parathyroid glands.
- Fifth pouch: forms the ultimo-branchial body, which is incorporated into the thyroid gland.
Student Learning Objective
- Students will be able to describe early embryogenesis, branchial arches and their derivatives, after the lecture.
Additional Notes
- Medical terminology: used for describing the development and anatomy of the human body.
